My baby turned Nine over the weekend!
(She was obsessed with the sand at our uncle's lake in Calgary.
Apparently a trip to Hawaii is in order.)
We bought her a hat which she immediately put on and pulled a very teeager-ish attitude, for about 5 minutes. She now insists on ordering for herself when we go out to eat, can't be bothered with anything with a "character" on it (except for The Jonas Brothers, heaven help me) and carries a purse with her wallet, lotion and lip gloss in it everywhere she goes. Where did my little girl go?!
The beautiful thing about my Bug is that we are becoming better friends the older she becomes. Knock on wood that we can keep that up over the next 12 years or so! She is so helpful with anything I need, much more than any other child her age I've seen. She's beautiful and talented and just about perfect, as least as far as this mother's concerned.
I've loved every minute of the last nine years (yes, even the gross, frustrating, tiring ones) and I am so glad that this sweet little spirit is mine for all eternity! I guess I can let her go to school next month, but she'd better hurry right home at the end of the day!

To quote Emma, "She is very adult-ish" now.
Love that girl!
She really is growing up!!! I can hardly believe she is getting so big. I hope she had a fabulous birthday.
Love that girl. She is just the most adorable little grown up ever.
I loved this post. What an amazing big girl she is becoming. And with such a great mom-it's no wonder!
Love that Emma! So much.
Good grief! It happens so fast!
You have a lovely young lady on your hands there =).
